monk - Light and Shadow on the Philosopher's Path (Signed Edition)

This is a Phaidon art book about his restaurant, monk, a fine dining restaurant located in Kyoto, written by chef Yoshihiro Imai himself.

Through essays, recipes, and photographs filled with his personal feelings, Yoshihiro tells the story of his farm, his ingredients, and the dishes he creates with them.

Monk's main menu is 'Omakase', and you can see the process of how the menu he presents developed and the intention behind the pizza he developed.

If you read the book and visit Kyoto, Japan, and visit his restaurant, that too will be a unique experience.
